Data-analysis-based processing is provided to validate audio content delivery via embedded inaudible sound signals. The processing obtains, by a validation system, an indication of detection of an inaudible sound signal embedded in an audio output of provided content initiated by a user on a user-device. The inaudible sound signal is inaudible to the user, and the audio output is from the user-device. Based on obtaining the indication of detection of the inaudible sound signal embedded in the audio output, the validation system validates that the audio output of the provided content is ON with respect to the user-device.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The computer program product of claim 1, wherein the validating is by a validation system, and the method further comprises linking the validation system to a content provider system supplying the provided content to the user-device, and providing, by the validation system, analysis data to the content provider system resulting from the comparing of the microphone audio data to the provided content.
3. The computer program product of claim 1, further comprising initiating, based on the identifying of the one or more portions, modifying of the provided content to obtain modified content for providing to the user-device.
4. The computer program product of claim 3, wherein the modified content includes the one or more portions of the provided content where the audio output of the provided content was unable to be heard through the user-device.
5. The computer program product of claim 1, further comprising determining whether the detected inaudible sound signal embedded in the audio output has reached a specified threshold, wherein the validating is further based on the inaudible sound signal embedded in the audio output of the provided content reaching the specified threshold.
6. The computer program product of claim 1, wherein the validating is by a validation system, and the method further comprises obtaining an indication of registration of the user-device with the validation system, wherein the user-device includes a microphone for detecting the inaudible sound signal embedded in the audio output of the provided content when the audio output is ON with respect to the user-device.
7. The computer program product of claim 1, wherein the validating is by a validation system, and the method further comprises obtaining an indication of registration of another user-associated device with the validation system, wherein the other user-associated device includes a microphone for detecting the inaudible sound signal embedded in the audio output of the provided content when the audio output is ON with respect to the user-device.
9. The computer system of claim 8, wherein the validating is by a validation system, and the method further comprises linking the validation system to a content provider system supplying the provided content to the user-device, and providing, by the validation system, analysis data to the content provider system resulting from the comparing of the microphone audio data to the provided content.
10. The computer system of claim 8, further comprising initiating, based on the identifying of the one or more portions, modifying of the provided content to obtain modified content for providing to the user-device.
11. The computer system of claim 10, wherein the modified content including the one or more portions of the provided content where the audio output of the provided content was unable to be heard through the user-device.
12. The computer system of claim 8, further comprising determining whether the detected inaudible sound signal embedded in the audio output has reached a specified threshold, wherein the validating is further based on the inaudible sound signal embedded in the audio output of the provided content reaching the specified threshold.
14. The computer-implemented method of claim 13, wherein the validating is by a validation system, and the method further comprises linking the validation system to a content provider system supplying the provided content to the user-device, and providing, by the validation system, analysis data to the content provider system resulting from the comparing of the microphone audio data to the provided content.
